Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

if that's what you're into that's what you're into


but i think for the people complaining seeing people sitting at a table is a bit odd as its usually people who have a taste for "extremely low quality cocaine and cheap champagne" and thinking they above everyone in the world or they've seen people in their late 40's early 50's sitting down because they've realized that maybe their friends in their early 30's talking them into going to see "such and such at such and such" was maybe a bit of a bad idea

^^^ that's what I meant about certain stereotypes associated with the table crowd.

There's a reaction to tables in this thread that seems like a knee jerk reaction to that stereotype as though we're them for being pro-table, even if audrey_w claims this is a new concept to her.

It's no different from putting my drink down at a standing table.

Not sure why the judgey reaction to tables. This is like a Seinfeld episode.

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

I haven't been to a club in years sadly... I haven't had a table at a club in around 10 years... A friend asked me to go see Digweed and said he was getting a table. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. I know one thing though, A dj as famous as digweed is brought from Europe to clubs in the US to sell tables, alcohol and more tables and more alcohol. Also, I am guessing there will be about 5 tables total at Firestone, most likely on the 2nd floor. My friend and I are both married and will be bringing our wives with us who are both not really big clubbers, although his wife is from Estonia and is really cool. At any rate, I probably wouldn't even bring my wife to Firestone without a table as I know she personally wouldn't have a good time, where as I could get along fine either fucking way. I'm also coming up on my 34th birthday (sunday), so if my friend wants to get a table and celebrate, great.

Pikey gifs anyone?

i completely get it but at the same time i don't understand... as i understand it it's like the US clubs catering for the wrong crowd is more important than catering the people that actually make a club what it is or what it is supposed to be

i,m not trying to offend anyone btw

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

the trouble i see is that right now its "v.i.p" soon everyone is going to want it, as demand out sells supply its going to be like popping down to the store for a pint of milk


is this really the future of clubs ?

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

I didn't catch Digweed in Shanghai because the club was known to have more tables than dance floor.

But Digweed played there anyway 'cos he got paid.

The more sensible clubs have tables at the back, leaving the dancefloor available.

There are cultural factors too. In Asia, clubbing is synonymous with 'entertaining.' IE. you host people whom you have to 'entertain'. You invariably find these (likely) business men at tables with women and drinks, playing dice while some shitty shrilly music is blasting from shitty speakers so loud you go deaf.

But here's a different side of the coin: I caught DJ Three at Marquee in Chelsea, NY. There were tables at the back towards the bar, but being the TRUE MUSIC LOVERS that we were, we didn't have a table.

Passing the tables to get to the bar I had two drunk women slobbering on me.

I spent the night on the dance floor looking up on a stage, DJ Three spinning, flanked by two dancers wearing corsets and lasers shooting out of their breasts. Throughout my time on the dancefloor I was interrupted by people shoving past me, walking around me, and groups repeatedly taking group selfies in front of me. WTF take group selfies on the dancefloor?

So ... I think all this table hate is unwarranted. The douches are everywhere

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

its not hate its bewilderment ... the whole concept of going clubbing is to get sweaty, dance, stand at the bar for an hour waiting to get served, talk shit to people who's had to much drink or drugs... i think if you don't expect that or aren't willing to deal with that then you really shouldn't be in the club in the first place

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

Well I've been there done most of it, your concept of getting sweat, dancing, etc etc.

Haven't you been to a club, gotten tired, and go to a chill out room? Or a rave? Step out for fresh air and end up staying out longer than you intended cos you're chilling or talking shit to randoms as you say.

I think you're mistaking having a table as sitting at the table the whole night. At least I don't when I've had tables. I dance on the floor, I dance around the table, I have a place to put my drinks down, or I can just sit and relax or talk shit.

It's hardly any different from going to a chill out room except the table is it.

Stop being so caught up with the idea of a table, or I think what's tripping you guys up is the idea of sitting down the whole night. Which is not that.

the difference is the status... i mean of all the places i,ve been to and been to a chill out area i,ve not had to fork out $2000 to listen to old orb tunes or buy a drink, but yea i have been tired before and sat down

but like i said and it wasn't addressed ... is this the future of clubbing ?

I can't believe what
we are discussing here.
Sorry, Is fucking weird.

Re: Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

Status of? Having a table = VIP?

Have you never been on a guest list, getting into an invite-only part, getting in free, walk past the poor saps queuing up to get in? That's status too.

Status scales.

We asked the same questions about the wrong crowd, the musical direction of a club, the people that make up the crowd, a good crowd vs a bad crowd, etc.

It's a business. No crowd = no money = no DJs. DJs like Digweed reach a pay scale where only certain clubs can afford to bring them in. You'll hardly see Digweed play in a club that can only support a 250 capacity.

completely irrelevant argument because once you past the door you blend with everyone else which is what the whole club thing is all about.... you know, mixing with your own, people with the same tastes, you know no people with the same idea's as you, not judging people by how big their wallets are etc etc
